To prevent, mitigate and respond more efficiently to hunger and malnourishment crises around the world, food science and technology should be integral to humanitarian programs, declared professor Dominique Bounie, who received the 2018 W.K. Kellogg International Food Security Award for his lifelong work on finding innovative solutions to humanitarian and emergency feeding problems. Dr. Bounie, who teaches food engineering and technology at the University of Lille in France, presented the W.K. Kellogg Lectureship on the “Role of FST (Food Science and Technology) in Addressing Food Security Issues in Humanitarian and Non-Humanitarian Contexts.”
